What would really do the trick is getting an actual star on the show instead of gross looking trannies, D-listers, has-beens, and never-was'ss's'ss. Then they'd still have that whole "It's dancing" thing to overcome. Maybe dedicate an entire season to breakdancing. Have 80's has-beens on.

Dinjiin:Perhaps this is the point where ABC gracefully pulls the show off the air. Because, ya know, it has the word "star" right in the name, and ABC appears to have run out of them.

Except if you look at the cast from season 1 it was still a bunch of c-listers, losers and has-beens back then (other than J Peterman from Seinfeld). And it is still one of ABC's highest rated shows. Even though I have never watched it, I don't see it going away any time soon.

I would watch a reality show consisting wholly of Jon Lovitz punching Andy Dick in the face. If the showrunners feel they need to freshen things up in Season Two they can invite celebrity guest stars like Mike Tyson in periodically to punch Andy Dick in the face as Jon Lovity exhorts them to punch him harder. The series finale in Season Six or Seven would have Gary Busey kill and eat Andy Dick on live television.

I've never watched Dancing with the Stars before, but I would definitely watch it if Jon Lovitz and Andy Dick were on camera at the same time. Even if Lovitz decided to be cool about it you know Dick would do something to push him over the edge.
